The True List pt. III

tomblogYup, that’s right. It’s time for another list! You guys asked for one… oh wait you didn’t?

huh, well here it is anyway:

The Top 10 B-Movies of All Time

(Now before I begin this one let me explain why I enjoy b-movies, not all of them are “bad” and not all of them are “bad without knowing.” A lot of the time, these movies show true effort within a given budget. Sometimes it’s the process of working within that budget that creates the “bad” in the movie. So for me, I enjoy the effort put into these movies to see just how well the director utilized the means that was given to them. Read the rest of this entry »

The True List pt. II

by Tom Skowronski | July 29th, 2009

blogpic2Hello everybody. The best looking blogger in history is back with yup, another list! Why? Because of how important my opinion is that’s why. Because if everyone on earth can Tweet about “when they go to sleep, when they wake up & what they are having to breakfast and when they are driving to work…” Then I too, can claim that I am SO important that people MUST know what my thoughts are, concerning EVERYTHING. So let us get to it, shall we?

This time we are going to be looking at what I think are the Top 5 Worst Movies Ever Made. Yesterday, we looked at the best and today we will switch gears and talk about the ugliest. Feel free to challenge my list by the way, chances are you are wrong… And I will tell you why.

5.) Twilight – horrible example of mainstream trash stuffed down the throats of a very young, gullible female demographic. Movies this insulting and blatant are one level above propaganda in their efforts to rally an audience. Very bad editing with multiple mistakes.

4.) LEPRECHAUN 4: IN SPACE- did you read the title?

3.) Troll 2 – generally regarded as the worst modern film ever made. The plot you ask? Well it’s a sequel.

2.) Eegah! – about a giant caveman discovered by a teenage girl, who is then kidnapped by him, who then falls in love with him, who then runs from him, who then….. never mind.

1.) Laserblast – tops my list. Without question. The editing is so bad here I have used this as an example of what not to do for lectures before. Awful lighting, dialog, camera work and oh yeah, acting. Plot centers around a man who finds a laser. Yup. Then his woes with a teenage girl, since he is apparently in high school… even though he looks 35.

And has a laser.

The True List

blogpic31That’s right! Everybody else has done one, why not me!? Unlike all the other blogs you go to, this blogger is by far the best looking, smartest and healthiest around. I even smell good, (ever since I started showering once a day). So listen up, here is MY listing of the top 5 movies ever made. Sure you’ve seen everyone’s top 10, top 5, etc. This is the era of myspacers and twitter, which keep people interconnected through minute to minute updates, not actual one on one human interaction… but it’s time to get to the list, the greatest of which has ever been assembled! And remember, this is one of the most important things that you are going to hear all day-So Focus!

5.) Citizen Kane

4.) The Shawshank Redemption

3.) The Wizard of Oz

2.) City of the Lost Children

1.) Memories of Murder

There is a reason that you haven’t heard of the top 2… you aren’t cool enough

Connecting via Cyberspace

by Jennifer O'Rourke | May 6th, 2009

blogging-resizeA while back I wrote about the crazy Twittering life many people have gotten into, sending updates about everything they’ve been doing in their day-to-day routine. As if the world cares. Yet it seems like everyone, even

Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn; networking sites just to connect with anyone and everyone. YouTube, text messaging and photos and video over mobile phones; sharing inane data on any subject to anyone anytime. Someone gave a page from a calendar with the caption: “Blogging – Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.” It shows a woman working on a laptop sitting on an incredible ledge over-looking what looks like Devil’s Tower in Wyoming  from Steven Spielberg’s  1977 movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” I love it. I hung it in my cubicle. Read the rest of this entry »

The Flying Camera

by Tom Skowronski | December 16th, 2008

Aeryon ScoutRecently I came across a very interesting article concerning a new, and very interesting take on aerial-robotics. The company called Aeryon Labs has developed what looks to be a flying camera called an Aeryon Scout. The camera is just the centerpiece of what looks like four round pieces of foam used to float in a swimming pool. The four foam rings are interconnected and each is 30cm in diameter. There is a rotor inside and a camera is hidden inside. A remote control operates a “quad-rotor” and navigates the camera. This allows for the Aeryon Scout to reach high angles that shooters can not. The idea behind the project is to help police, military and engineers. May be one day, we will all be able to purchase an Aeryon Scout at a local retailer? Only time will tell…
